[AngularJS] Having issues with npm/gulp when trying to run API

[AceNinja1101]

Alright so I am trying to run the API so I can make sure everything is
running smoothly on my laptop.

- deleted node_modules folder and ran npm install
- emptied the cache, deleted node_modules folder and npm install
- Have googled this issue and nothing seems to solve my particular

problem

I have removed all instances of the node_modules folder and
reinstalled numerous times

this is the error that I am getting when I run **npm start** and even
sometimes trying to **npm install**


gulp[13748]: src\node_contextify.cc:631: Assertion
`args[1]->IsString()' failed.

Hi Ace,

What is it you are trying to do? What is your source? It hard to help you
with partial information

I am trying to run an API on my new laptop but it doesn't seem to run or do
anything. Anytime I run npm start it gives that error above

Well, I'm seeing a couple of `ELIFECYCLE` errors. That's an end of
lifecycle. Usually, that means you have packages that are not supported by
your current node version. I guess you should update your API to a more
current version.

I did run npm update to update all modules and dependencies and still
getting the error and I did reinstall node_modules many times

Thank you so it turns out I had the wrong nodejs installed!
